Plan
- What meats and vegetables you want to cook?
- When and where will you make your foil meal?
- How will you get the ingredients? What else do you need for this Adventure?
- Has everyone agreed on all of the details?
Do
- Choose some tasty meats and vegetables. Make sure the veggies you choose are ones you enjoy eating cooked.
- With help from your Scouters, prepare your meat and vegetables. Put out a selection for everyone to choose from.
- Line some foil with cooking oil, butter or margarine.
- Add your favourite meats and vegetables, and maybe some salt, pepper or other spices.
- Wrap your meal up securely, then put it on your campfire’s coals or on a grill.
- Turn it once and then let it cook a while longer (cooking times will depend on what you have in your foil, and on how hot your fire is).
- Pull your meal from the fire, give it a few minutes to cool, and open it up and pour your meat and vegetables out your plate or bowl. Supper’s ready!
